Posted:17th Oct 2005No i'm not mynci - I met up with burningoftheclavie yesterday afternoon after writing that post - and I played with her staff - I don't know what I did but I just spun it round and round anticlockwise with it in front of me, then did some thing where it weaved behind me. I don't know the technical name for what I did but I did it. so now I'm a staff fledgling with two moves under my beltSo in your face, Lee!!!!

Always use "so's your face" and "only on Tuesdays" in as many conversations possible

strugz... that anti-turn jesus..well i got it to go over the throat then over the neck and kept it on my shoulders...it WILL be done

dude - sick is all i can say - however im not convinced that the move your doing can be named an anti turn jesus.......... mainly because the theory of the move jesus and anti turn - just isnt practically possible as that norther lady with the funny hair said

However - what your doing is still a fine ass move i just think its name needs to be differant. - i.e. "the mincey"

Written by: Mynci

oh and strugz...6 consectutive jesuses WITH witnesses... is that continuous now...

witnesses mean nothing to me unless they can do a jesus themselves and besides - was that 6 gracefully or did you look like the tazmainian devil on speed?

Either way - i look forward to seeing your recent learnings

So far - ive learnt feck all recently - to much gig work and not enough play time

i miss play time

"...We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing......."

and it was more like a tazmanian tamazapaned devil i was pretty slow so can I name that move then dude? I shall call it an anti-christ... opposite from everything a jesus stands for...messy and painful.

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Posted:20th Oct 2005 to you FRD I'm a juggler and I can't help being more talented than the entire auditionees for x factor (well a nappy wearing chimp has more talent than them) besides i have a good teacher .... oh and I learnt a new staff position the other night too

Posted:22nd Oct 2005Simultaneous jesus & halo with doubles. Have to admit to a bruised head and very few successes. But it's easier than I thought it would be, and can see that with skill/luck it could be done continuously.

*no moves there are no moves there are no moves there are no moves there are no moves there are no*

Have been playing with the move that got named the "conveyor belt" in another thread. After the elbow-wrists-elbow sequence the bent elbows can be crossed in front of the body transferring the staff back into the conveyor belt, or spun between the points of the elbows. Before I became aware of HOP I used to call this a straightjacket, although I now understand this already describes a poi move.... Anyway, been having a bit of fun doing this move in the horizontal plane above the head, seems to produce lots of random elbow spins and entrances into neck spins/matrixes ect.

Also, wanted to know if anyone else is playing with burn-offs during contact moves, I don't have access to a camera/video and would love to know what they look like!

*no moves there are no moves there are no moves there are no moves there are no moves there are no*

shuffle the deck over-head turns and some slick contact passing manouvres and best of all... the whole session on video...wooo for camcorders now just gotta suss a way to go from vhs to PC to make a little vid

Posted:15th Nov 2005Me and FlamingDeity shouldn't be left to our own devices....and if we are we need more than 2 staffs.

It started off with the double antispin, which went to behind the head antispins and then just went crwazy (A real typing error, but it works!)We ended up on wall plane double antispin flower fishtails.....I think?! Might have been butterfly instead of flowerI admit I didn't get the fishtails with both hands, but I got it with my left!

Double antispin in wall plane is well entertaining, looks like you're rowing a boat...which is why it should be called the 'Rowboat'

Not seen a Banana do Double staff in the woods? You obviously weren't at that party!

Posted:26th Nov 2005I 'invented' a move (I think). Well, since I just started this whole spinning thing, I'm not so sure I did actually. Probably doing something everybody has been doing for years...

Ok.. now lets see if I can explain... and if anyone of you can tell me if there's a name for it.

Hold the staff vertical in right hand, palm inwards.Throw it between hands keeping it vertical, no swinging, palms inwards.Do a 1/2 (body) turn while catching the staff in the left hand, but now palm outwardCatch in right hand behind the back Catch in left hand while doing another 1/2 body turn.

Posted:26th Nov 2005I just learned the first half of the Matrix... Now for the second half...

Posted:3rd Jan 2006just came up with something.....probibly not new, and not at all contactly.

from butterfly in front of you (i still dont know my plane names)wall maybe??so...kinda butterfly flower tyring things, as you get both sticks to the top, isolate the top pair of wicks and bring them down the center of your body, whilst folding togeather the other ends, when they reach the top, isolate them and split apart the bottom again.

can also go in to butterfly iso's and some other stuff from it
